Harris played shooting guarding for the mavs team that got to the finals smart guy. Plus he now has a point guard that can defend shooting guards. How many more fastbreak points will they get with Kidd and Harris in the backcourt?
No - The team is now weaker in crucial areas
Yes - Kidd is what is needed to get them that championship
Only way the rockettes are getting out of the first round is by pulling "the dream" out of retirement.

Were you still rooting for the Bulls back then? Adrian Griffin was our SG. Marquis Daniels & Stackhouse played at the 2-guard spot as well. Harris got zero minutes at SG. Harris was the backup PG.
Nope that ended after we lost game 1 to the spurs. Putting Harris in the starting lineup instead of Griffin is what changed the series. Anyways Harris is a much better player now than at that time.
Harris never played SG.
He and Terry shared the backcourt. He can do the same with Kidd except he won't have as many point guard duties.
So does Devin Harris. So does everybody. Go on, go ahead and look up Devin and Tony's numbers against each other since that series.
That series should be ignored? Those were the games that counted the most. Harris can guard Parker better than anyone I've seen and it helped a lot to have Diop ready to challenge any shot Parker tried when he did get passed Harris.
That worked great against the Warriors.
And Harris still wasn't the SG.
They took turns. They took pressure off each other. Both had their moments of being shooting guard and point guard. You are too fixed about positions. Why can't Harris play shooting guard on offense and have Kidd guard shooting guards on the other side of the court?
That series was 2 years ago. Get the over it. Harris played well in 3 games. Tell me what he did in Game 7, when it "mattered".
In all honesty, I wouldn't mind having Harris at SG, even though he is small. If he is asked to just play defense and drive relentlessly, then I'm fine with that. If Howard was a better jumpshooter, then I would have rather traded Terry. But we needed jumpshooting around Kidd, so we had to keep Terry obviously.
It includes that series. Beginning with G1 of the 06 Western Semis, Parker has consistently outplayed Harris. Go on, go and look it up.
Yeah why I am arguing with someone that is best known for his smack talk and has little knowledge of basketball. I'm just wasting my time if he doesn't get it by now.
IIRC, he was curbstomped by Tony Parker.
Floor spacing. Harris isn't going to have drives to the basket because the kickout to Terry isn't available. Nobody respects Kidd's jumper as it is, and they didn't respect Harris' either (his shot improved but was still mediocre). The defense would crowd even worse than it does already, Harris wouldn't have , and now we've lost another 3 point threat. Genius
Putting Harris at SG is so stupid that not even Avery would consider it.
Parker was having a of a year that year. He was having his way with everyone. Totally owning Bibby. Harris was the only one it seemed to gave him problems. Of course he didn't outscore Parker but Parker's percentages and point average was way down. Harris wasn't a big part of the offense back than though so I wouldn't expect him to outscore Parker. I'll look it up though.
Harris put up a scintillating 33 minutes, 2 points, 1 rebound, 0 assists, 5 turnovers.
Parker had a mediocre 9-18, 24 point game.
But Harris owns Parker. That's what they all say.
2 years ago forum. Harris is much improved from outside as well as Kidd. Teams can't leave Harris as we will get many passes from Kidd for layups. Kidd, on the other hand, you can leave. He will just wait at the 3 point line.Floor spacing. Harris isn't going to have drives to the basket because the kickout to Terry isn't available.

Not just that series, but since then as well, taking into account Harris' improvement. Parker has consistently won that matchup.
Much improved? He went from "horrible" to "not as horrible". By no means was he ever a threat from outside, up until he was traded. And he's shooting even worse in New Jersey.
Good, then. He's shooting 51% from there as a Mav. His mid-range jumper is awful, but he finishes well on drives to the rim and he's a good, yes I said, good, 3-point shooter from the wings.
Not to mention the utter stupidity of the fact that Harris needs the ball to be effective. Just like Kidd.
So we have two guys who can only make plays if they're controlling the ball, and we're going to play them at the same time. again, genius
yes, this was a very bad trade. we should look away from the screen and give up on this phony team.
ok?
Yes and teams will run up on him forcing him to drive and take a midrange shot. You can't do that with Harris.
